Freeman is sticking with RL. Can we all agree if ND drops another game it’s time for the Carr era ?

If he plays poorly for another half we need to see somebody different

No, he's running scout team.
He would go to Angeli if anything.
Angeli is not going to win a NC, give Minchey a shot

If we get behind more than 2 TDs in a game, it will force his hand.

It'd be smarter to tag team them than throwing Angeli in cold to win a game.

That sounds like a workable plan

Maybe 3 touchdowns.
I mean, I'd start Angeli. But we are talking about what Freeman will do.
Kind of like Tommy Rees coming in at the end to bail out Golson

A change would be smart. Whether it's Angeli, Minchey or Carr is the only question.
I'd go with Angeli and/or Minchey. Let Carr keep his redshirt year.
Who doesn't like that new Carr smell?

LOL!!!

If Leonard struggles it makes most sense to put the second stringer in and that is Angeli. I do love
the prospect of Carr for the future.
im not a big fan of transfer portai but for now, rl is QB.
if they opt to go with2ndbstringer, ANGELI It is
I do believe it'll be Carr next yr
Spot on!

I would say that if any point remaining in this season, if we are in danger of losing and Leonard
isn't playing well, visibly showing he has it in him to drive the offense for the winning score and Freeman doesn't give Angeli a shot, then Freeman's head should be the one on the chopping block.
We lost his first game vs oSu because he didn't have the chops to pull the trigger on a QB switch once Coan went into his standard cold streak...if he still doesn't have that in him with a season on the line in year 3 then he learned nothing from that loss.
Your point about the OkState game is spot on and rarely mentioned.

Carr is 4th on the depth chart
No way he jumps Angeli and Minchey this year
If he is fourth on the depth chart he needs to transfer. He is only hurting himself by staying.

The plan all along was to redshirt, he's not "hurting himself" by staying.

I don’t see how he could bypass Angeli and minchey. Minchey would transfer for sure
(no message)
Agreed....Angeli stuck around with MF "$hit-show" for the past 3 yrs.; he at least deserves a shot!

Ok. But if they drop a game. The future needs to start Who ever that is

I said the same thing last year with Hartman, it won't happen
Imagine if we started Angeli last year after Hartman lost to Louisville. Leonard probably wouldn't even be on this team. Though who knows as Denbrock seems to only like QBs who can run. I checked out his recent offenses from Cincy and LSU and in each season the QB had the second most carries. Angeli isn't completely immobile, but he's not the type of QB I'd give that many carries to.
I agree. It I don’t think freeman benches RL short of an injury. I just don’t see it happening.
This is as much a problem with freeman as anything.
Either he can’t admit a mistake or he won’t give up on Leonard. To a fault. Even if someone else comes in and is better and wins the game.
I wonder if there is any friction between freeman and the offensive coaching staff over Leonard
Re: I agree. It I don’t think freeman benches RL short of an injury. I just don’t see it happening.
I think you give RL the opportunity to win this and the remaining games on the schedule with improved play. If ND loses any of them, I think you accept the fact that you won't be in the playoffs this year and start looking for your QB for the next couple of years between Minchey and Carr. I think its time to stop chasing portal QBs and develop your own. MF recruited Minchey and Carr and we need to know if MF's staff can develop one of them. If not, ND's not going to be in the playoffs until it gets a coaching staff that can develop QBs...
I have full confidence in Steve. I do believe he has the ability to get us into the playoffs.
